Do You Worry About Your Packages in Fenway-Kenmore?

With a recent caught-on-video package theft making headlines, we have to ask: do you worry about the safety of your packages?

The story of Salem resident Bill Bushong's stolen birdcage and the video surveillance he captured of a woman stealing a package from his front porch was featured on a handful of local news stations.

Police suggest taking extra precautions if you're expecting a package delivery, such as requesting the package only be left with a person who signs for it or arranging to have it dropped off to a neighbor.

Do you ever worry that the items you order won't be there when you get home? Do incidents like the recent theft in Salem have you mulling over the installation of surveillance equipment of your own?
